﻿How to collect insects

​﻿Visit us

Individuals, families, and friends are welcome to visit for free. Our museum is an active work area, so don't be surprised if you see someone sorting insects at a microscope or creating labels on a computer. You are welcome to ask them what they are doing! If you are a group (e.g. scouts, school, retirement community, service club), please learn more about our fee-based tour options.

Spring/Summer Break: The Bohart will be closed for much of June as we reorganize and renovate our space. Already scheduled tours will still take place and some hours during UC Davis graduation week will be announced.

Free, family friendly UC Davis places!

Looking to spend time visiting UC Davis. Here are some suggestions of places to visit.

We are located on the beautiful UC Davis Campus in Davis, CA. The nearest intersection is La Rue Rd. & Crocker Lane. Meyer Hall is to the west of us.

The cost of a daily parking pass (Monday-Friday) is $9 per vehicle. Handicap and weekend parking is free. The closest Visitor Parking lot is 47, but this is often full. The other option is parking over in the Gateway Structure** and lots P1 & P2 next to the Mondavi Center. For weekend events at the Bohart visitors may park in Non-Visitor Parking Lot 46, which is adjacent to our building. Confused? You can always call or email us.

**If you are parking on campus Tuesday-Thursday between the hours of Noon-5pm, you can take advantage of the Manetti-Shrem Art Museum parking kiosk in the Gateway Structure. This offers you a 4-hour parking pass for only $4.50, but this is only available during Manetti-Shrem Art Museum hours
